MOTM

For me it's

1) FFB

 

2) SEM VCF

 

3) Cloud Generator

 

I'll still be happy if the SEM was 1st. I'm just not sure I could justify
dropping 500 bucks on a Cloud Generator that I have no current use for.
Maybe if there were some super cool samples to demonstrate the it's
abilities and characteristics it might peek my interest!

Subject: [motm] Results of the 'user poll'

 

After reading everyone's inputs for what is desired for a DIY/pc board only 
(or module, but all in old fashioned through-hole technology) I've decided 
to work on the SEM VCF with Voltage-Controlled Output Morphing.

For all you solder jockeys out there, it will be as complicated as the 
MOTM-480 VCF. But with *more* parts. Yippee.

In order to take advantage of all it can do, it will have 6 panel controls 
but 11 jacks. I plan to use a standard BR-1 bracket/MOTM pc board size 
*unless* the layout goes south and won't fit. It will be *very* dense.

There will be 2 audio inputs, voltage-controlled resonance and 
voltage-controlled output morphing (along with HP/BP/LP/Notch *fixed* 
outputs). The MORPH sweeps between HP/BP/LP on a dedicated output.

Even though it uses 'vintage' op amps, I just checked Digikey/Mouser and 
they have tons in stock. There are several LM13700 dual OTAs but again not 
an issue.

So, one last 'poll':

What would you rather see *first*:

a) some sort of FFB/parametric EQ boards?

b) the SEM VCF boards?

c) the Cloud Generator in all it's assembled SMT glory?
